Mathematical morphology는 이론적 배경으로 신호 및 시스템의 기하학적 특성을 해석하는데 우수하고 잡음이 섞인 데이터를 고르기에 있어서 매우 성공적으로 적용되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 morphological필터의 하드웨어 구현은 같은 회로에서 gray scale dilation과 erosion을 수행하여 최소값과 최대값을 선택하도록 함으로써 회로의 복잡성을 줄이고 병렬처리가 가능하도록 하였다. Morphological filter의 구조는 structuring element블록, 이미지 데이타 블록, 제어 블록, ADD 블록, MIN/MAX블록으로 구성되고 실시간 처리가 가능하도록 하드웨어를 설계, one chip화 한다.

To classify the significant wavelet coefficients into edge area and noise area, a morphological clustering filter applied to wavelet shrinkage is introduced. New methods for wavelet shrinkage using morphological clustering filter are used in noise removal, and the performance is evaluated under various noise conditions.

Though median filter is used for removing noise and smoothing image. But, the result of it has distortion around edge. And then, this paper proposes new noise removing algorithm by recursive morphological processing. Basic operation is same each other, but there is some different processing method between recursive morphology and general morphology theory. This recursive morphological filter can be viewed as the weighted order static filter, and then it has a weighted SE(structuring element). Especially using this algorithm to remove the 10% gaussian noise, this paper confirmed that PSNR is improved about 0.642~1.5757 db reserving edge well better than the results of the traditional median filter.

We constructed morphological filter for single sweep records of event-related potential (ERP), especially P300 waveform. By combining 4 basic operations; erosion, dilation, opening and closing, we can derive any desired filters whose property fits the current objectives. The morphological filter for single sweep records of ERP was constructed by taking account of the features of the signal and noise components. The morphological filter has superior properties of separating the signal ancl the noise even existing within a same frequency band. The constructed morphological filter was tested by using simulation data of ERP and then applied to actual ERP data of a normal subject. The results proved that the constructed morphological filter was an appropriate tool for single sweep records of ERP.

Morphological 필터는 다양한 structuring element로서 morphological 연산으로 구성된다. 두개의 기본적인 morphological 연산은 erosion과 dilation이다. 두 연산에 기본을 두고 OC, CO 필터가 정의된다. 가우시안 잡음이 포함된 이미지의 잡음을 제거할 경우 OC 필터의 성능이 CO의 성능보다 우수함을 확인하였다. 본 논문에서는 이미지 처리에 있어서 하이브리드 메디안 필터를 구성하여 다른 필터 보다 화질의 선명도를 개선하고 컴퓨터 시뮬레이션을 통하여 해석하였다.

Edge detection is an important problem in computer vision and image understanding. Because the threshold is difficult to properly determine, edge images gained by the usually gradient-based segmentation methods are often tend to have many disjoint or overlapping boundaries, which makes the edge images spinous. In this paper, a practical multilevel morphological filter is presented for smoothing spinous edge images. The experimental results show that the method is effective in dealing with the images of a target in the sky.

In this paper, a new morphology-based homomorphic filtering technique is presented to enhance features in medical images. The homomorphic filtering is performed based on the morphological sub-bands, in which an image is morphologically decomposed. An evolutionary design is carried to find an optimal gain and structuring element of each sub-band. As a search algorithm, Differential Evolution scheme is utilized. Simulations show that the proposed filter improves the contrast of the interest feature in medical images.

In this paper we present a generalized directional morphological filtering algorithm for the removal of impulse noise, which is based on a combination of impulse noise detection and a weighted rank-order morphological filtering technique. For salt (or pepper) noise suppression, the generalized directional opening (or closing) filtering of the input signal is selectively used. The detection of impulse noise can be done by the geometrical difference of opening and closing filtering. Simulations show that this new filter has better detail feature preservation with effective noise reduction compared to other nonlinear filtering techniques.

This paper presents a new method for detecting microcalcifications on mammograms by using morphological filter. This filter is an extension of Top-hat transformation in morphological operations with multi-scale and multiple structuring elements. The proposed method makes it possible to detect geometrical structures considered to be microcalcifications on the basis of their size, shape and density. Experimental results to show the effectiveness of the proposed method are also presented.

This paper describes an efficient framework for the extraction of a brain tumor from magnetic resonance (MR) images. Before the segmentation process, a median filter is used to filter the image. Then, the morphological gradient is computed and added to the filtered image for intensity enhancement. After the enhancement process, the thresholding value is calculated using the mean and the standard deviation of the image. This thresholding value is used to binarize the image followed by the morphological operations. Moreover, the combination of these morphological operations allows to compute the local thresholding image supported by a flood-fill algorithm and a pixel replacement process to extract the tumor from the brain. Thus, this framework provides a new source of evidence in the field of segmentation that the specialist can aggregate with the segmentation results in order to soften his/her own decision.
